Yellowstone Park

On last Saturday the senate passed the
bill reported from the committee ON ter.
r%itories which provides for the govern
meut of the Yellowston c park. The bill
also provides for certain changes in the
boundaries Of the park.
If the senate bill becomes a law the
park will be placed entirely within the
boundaries of the territory Of Wyoming.
There Is COW n narrow strip of about two
miles wide in Idaho aud Il similar strip in
Montana. The senate very properly dc
cided that il was advisable to place the
park under one territorial jurisdiction in
50 far as it IS subject to the jurisdiction of
a territory at all.
1t also extends the limits Of the park
about two miles to the south and about
thirty miles to the east. There we're two
reasons for this action, both of which
were good. There is a great demand for
the preservation Of the forests growing
about the headwaters of the Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers. In order to accomp.
llsh this it was necessary to increase the
size Of the PARK, L. was also necessary to
include within lis limits the country lying
to the east Of its present eastern bound
airy, because much Of the game which
finds refuge in the park wanders into the
country referred to during certain seasons
Of the year. If found there now these
animals would be unprotected.
The Yellowstone park would, within
the proposed new boundaries, include an
area of about fifty by seventy miles. Con
gress should appropriate a liberal sum for
the government and improvement of this
park which contains within It's limits
some of the greatest natural wonders in
the world. The appropriation of Sio,O 900
which is made by the senate bill Ia far
from being equal to what the park needs.
1t is an improvement, however, upon the
annual appropriations which heretofore
have been made. Denver Republrnl.

When theappetite fails and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs. when
healthy, crave food, the nervous system,
when vigorous and tranquil, gives its pos
SCISSOR no uneasiness at night. \. tonic to
be effective should not be a mere appeti-
ger, nor are the nerves to he strengthened
and soothed by the unaided action of a
sedative or a narcotic. What is required
is a medicine which invigorates the sto
mach and promotes assimilation of food
by the system, by which means the ner-
vous system as well as other parts of
the physical organism are strengthened.
These are the effects of Hostetter's Sto-

A Mormon Victory.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered a
decision in the case Of Bishop Snow, Of
Utah, who was convicted Of unlawful CO.
habitation on several indictments. The
Utah court sentenced him to a fine of
$500, and six months Imprisonment upon
each indictment, the several terms Of i'm
|prisonment to follow one another. The
prisoner, after serving out the first term,
filed Il petition for II writ Of habeas corpus
and discharge from prison ON the ground
that he could not be legally sentenced to
three terms of Imprisonment for one con-
tinuous o%ffense. The court de,ied his
application and he thereupon appealed.
This court holds that the ofiense of cohab-
itation in the sense of the statute Is in
h%erently a continuous o%ffense, having
duration, and not an offense consisting of
Il solicited act. There was, therefore,
only a single otTensc committed prior to
the time the indictments were found.
This court Is, therefore, unanimously Of
the opinion that the order and Judgment
ofthe district court for the third judicial
district Of Utah must be reversed and the
case be remanded to that court with the
direction to grant the writ of habeas cor.
pus prayed for and to take such proceed
incs thereon as may be in conformity with
law and not inconsistent with the o%ninion

A Newly Found Cave,

The Courier.Journal's special from
Sharpe, Marshal county. KY, in the
southwestern part Of the State, relates
the discovery of large cave by two
young men while engaged in preparing a
piece Of land for planting. A partial ex.
ploration developed the fact that the
cave was made up Of many rooms Of
great extent. A complete exploration
VIII be impossible until certain large
rocks are blasted or broken away. In
one OF the chambers there were found
two human skeletons and about 5000 in
gold and silver coin and quantity of
silver ware. This newly found cave is
believed to have been the hiding place
during the late war Of the band Of
goerillss known as Bloody Bill Brady's
gang" These marauders were attacked
near Benton, Marshal county, in 1864,
and all but two were killed. These two
escaped, and going, as it is thought, to
this cave, quarreled over division of
the spoils Of the gang. and following
their murderous bent shot and killed
each other. Steps will be taken for
further Investigation of its former oc-
cupants. 1t has been limited that the
cavern was most likely the headquarters
many years ago, of the John A. Murrill
gang, who robbed and murdered people
of this section of Kentucky, the States Of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
